This mod should be compatible with any other mod out there. Just drop the "raw" folder from the mod folder into your game root folder.
This mod is not compatible with Genesis 4, because the content here is already included.

This mod allows you to play an "adventurer" creature in adventure mode (pick "adventurer outsider") and select from a number of unique classes to transform into.

1) Pick "adventurer outsider" as adventure mode creature.
2) Press "x", navigate to "natural abilities", pick "class selection". You now temporary get a few new abilities called "Class - X" where X is a class name.
3) Press "x" again, navigate to "acquired abilities", pick the desired class. Notice that you will transform and all your items will fall to the ground, so pick them up.

Classes:
Barbarian:
- 2x learning speed of melee combat skill, 1.5x learning speed of wrestling skill.
- 2x faster strength, toughness and endurance gain, 20% faster agility gain.
- Ability to enter blood rage, which increases your strength and speed and makes you immune to pain.

Magician:
- Ability to cast "fireworks". 5 targeted fireballs.
- Ability to cast "burning hands". A melee range fire spray spell.

Necromancer:
- Undead. Cannot bleed out and "opposed to life" creatures won't target him.
- Ability to throw "bone spear".
- Ability to animate dead.

Vagabond:
- 2x learning speed of dodging, ranged combat and swimming skills, 3x learning speed of sneaking skill, 5x learning speed of dagger skill.
- 2x agility gain.
- Ability to enter "escape" mode, which greatly increases your agility and speed, grants you immunity to paralysis and stun and gives you extravision.



General notice: this mod is a component of Genesis 4 mod which I release separately for your personal use. Please do not include it as a part of your own mods you release to public, it would make me feel sad :). I don't ask you not to use the general idea though, so feel free to see how I did it and utilize it if you want! Also anyone may use this mod with your mod, so link them if you want to spread the word!



I will work on this mod further, adding new classes and expanding existing ones. I will also release a separate mod to go with this, "Crafty DF", which will introduce a new crafting system for your adventuring needs. STAY TUNED!

Seems awesome.
Some class suggestions:
-Summoners: Can summon megabeasts, have some minor magic, etc, etc.
-Rangers: Camoflage for a bit, skilled archers/crossbowmen/hunters, etc.
-Jesters: Joke class, have ridiculously weak attacks, have a chance to oneshot most things with a deadly breath attack?

While being completely oblivious to adventure mode, I do really like your cover graphic :) Very classy 8-bit

Ooh. I find the way you did the class selection interesting--I would have just had the classes selectable as castes in the character name menu.

This is neat. I agree with Putnam, though. Are there things you couldn't do with castes?

I think these are castes--just ones that you select through the interaction menu, for some reason.

Presumably, you transform into them.

Not presumably--it's explicitly stated, and that's the only way to switch castes through the interactions menu.

...Yup, it sure is.
Deon, is there any reason you can't do what Putnam suggested?

You can't apply CVs with castes, so no.

It's like this because I want to continue the class development by adding more abilities. You can't do it with castes.

You could give the castes the interactions to develop themselves... Unless I don't get what you mean...

You cannot do that much with interactions alone, creature transformation allows much more options (including skill learn rates, stat gain rates and tons of other tokens).
